Four cases are presented of ectopic thyroid tissue in adult women who underwent for thyroid study for different motives. Radioisotopic uptake was absent in the usual thyroid location. Thyroid function was normal in every case and no psychomotor abnormalities were present. In one case, echography revealed an atrophic thyroid in the usual location in association with thyroid ectopy. The literature of thyroid ectopy was reviewed and the preponderant role of radioisotopic scan is underlined, together with thyroid echography in the imaging diagnosis of neck masses.
本文报告了4例成年女性异位甲状腺组织的病例，这些女性因不同原因接受甲状腺检查。在正常甲状腺位置未发现放射性同位素摄取。所有病例甲状腺功能均正常，且无精神运动异常。其中1例经超声检查发现，正常位置的甲状腺萎缩并伴有甲状腺异位。本文回顾了甲状腺异位的相关文献，强调了放射性同位素扫描以及甲状腺超声在颈部肿块影像诊断中的重要作用。
